New York Court of Appeals
Robert Wyllie, Appellants v. James Palmer, Respondents
February 28, 1893137 N.Y. 248
Summary
The Court affirmed the dismissal, holding that the defendants' contract was a sale of fireworks, not a display service, and that the doctrine of respondeat superior did not apply because the boy who caused the injury was not the defendants' servant at the time of the accident.
